We believe that active fund management and bottom-up stock picking can add substantial value in smaller companies. We consider it essential to carry out independent, detailed, fundamental analysis of a company before we invest. We believe that we can find high quality businesses that have good prospects and where there is an attractive balance of risk and return. We think like owners, not merely stockholders, of the companies in which we invest.
